The black-and-yellow broadbill (Eurylaimus ochromalus) is a species of bird in the typical broadbill family Eurylaimidae. A small, distinctive species, it has a black head, breastband, and upperparts, a white neckband, yellow streaking on the back and wings, and wine-pink underparts that turn yellow towards the belly. The beak is bright blue, with a green tip to the upper mandible and black edges. It shows some sexual dimorphism, with the black breastband being incomplete in females. Native to Southeast Asia, it inhabits a variety of forests and plantations. Mainly inhabiting lowlands, the species is found up to elevations of 1,220 m (4,000 ft). Mainly insectivorous, it is also known to feed on molluscs and fruit. It breeds during the dry season throughout its range, with both sexes helping build a large, untidy, nest. The species is listed as near-threatened by the IUCN due to a decline in its population caused by habitat loss. (Full article...)

- Reasons for nomination: This is a relatively recent promotion from last year. The reason I'm nominating is because it recently was published as an article on the Wikijournal of Science, so this would be a nice opportunity to help publicize what I think is a way to improve the perceived reliability and cite-ability of WP articles.
